My system specs are MSI B550 Gaming GEN3, AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, MSI Geforce 1660 Super. I have a 1tb Crucial P3 nvme ssd and 1tb T-Force sata ssd. My system only shows my p3 for storage, it sees my T-Force Sata drive but I cannot write on it. This is my first build and I cannot figure this out.

What do you mean "cannot write on it"? Did you format it?

I cannot save to it, I haven't done anything to it since I installed it

After you install a new disk you need to format it with a file system (i.e. NTFS) before you can use it.

Right click on the Start button,  select Disk Management 

You'll see there all storage devices as Disk0, Disk1 and so on ... Select the one that's your SSD and go from there. If there's no partition, you may need to create one. Right click on the empty area, and select create partition and make a NTFS partition and assign it a letter. 

If one is already created, then maybe all you need is to give it a letter. Right click on it and see what menu option lets you give that partition a drive letter, so you can access it from Windows Explorer
